SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) — A homophobic pastor who insists that Starbucks mixes their drinks with the “semen of sodomites” has admitted that he was once tempted by gay lifestyle during his time in prison.

“Absolutely, no doubt about it. I spent three and a half years in prison,” said James David Manning, a pastor at ATLAH Missionary Church in Harlem, New York.

Manning quickly noted that he “didn’t yield to temptation.”

He made his comments during an interview with The Young Turks, a YouTube news and talk show channel. In the video, the controversial preacher reiterated his claims that Starbucks adds semen to coffee drinks because “a number of people think that semen tastes good. A number of people think that drinking semen is a good idea.”

The ridiculousness doesn’t stop there; Manning says the decision to flavor their drinks with spooge was the result of thorough market research.

“Starbucks has deduced, in an ingenious way, that since so many people like semen, while they’re drinking it from one another, why not put it in our coffees?”

For anyone that thinks this spectacle was produced to drive YouTube views, The Young Turks says it’s not so. “We don’t patronize our viewers or lie to them. We have real conversations and deliver the news honestly,” they say in their YouTube channel description.
